Hello everyone... and thanks in advance.
I'm cross posting this, so if it reads kinda "weird" that is why. I'm trying to do a wiring harness from scratch on a race car. Its a 1967S 2.0/6 motor.... first question: Would this be an internal or external voltage regulator on the alternator? (I'm guessing its an external, so I probably need to wire a regulator in somewhere) second question: I'm replacing the tiny alternator warning light with a LARGE warning light.... I've seen this on other cars but they usually had a full wiring loom intact. a)Do I need to pay attention to the wattage of the warning light bulb to get the circuit to excite? b)should I wire a resistor in line to meet this need of a particular wattage and then wire my warning light seperate? c) if b is true, then how would I wire the light seperate? d) help...? that should about cover all my questions for the next 24 hours or so... Most of the circuits (ie: fuel pump, switched ignition power, etc.) have made simple sense... but I'm struggling a bit with the alternator so thanks a ton fellas!!!! brant |

James,
thanks a ton.. that looks like one good solution. ejm, I know very little about the late cars... but I'm assuming that the pictured switch only works in conjunction with the idler on the late cars. I won't be putting an idler into my setup... so do you know how the switch works? brant |
